Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl features many Legendaries from Gen I through IV. Here is every Legendary Pokemon that can be found in the Sinnoh remakes.

Although Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl will largely be a faithful adaption of the 2006 DS titles, Studio ILCA is bringing a flurry of modern features to the Gen IV reimaginings, including post-game Legendaries.

Similar to past Pokemon remasters, BDSP will give Trainers a chance to catch Mythical Pokemon from Gen I to IV through the new Ramanas Park mechanic. Here is a breakdown of every Legendary in the game, including some hidden ones.

How to get Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

After seeing all 151 Pokemon in the Sinnoh Dex, players will then unlock the National Dex. After acquiring the expanded Pokedex in the post-game, Trainers will now be able to visit Ramanas Park (formerly known as Pal Park in the 2006 titles).

The revamped location has several new caves which house mysterious pedestals. Players can obtain special “slates” to put on the pedestals, which will then whisk them away to face off against a Legendary Pokemon.
